Thanks for not captioning it. I'll wait and let nature takes it's revenge on you when you lose your hearing and get frustrated. I thought Engadget cares about sharing information!!!
please tell me you'll set yourself apart from other online shows by having closed captions. I'd say about 73% of the deaf population is male and out of that 73% percent male population, at least, 86% of them are tech freaks. Why? because they're born to wear machines on their ears.
SO CAPTION IT!!! I'd seriously send you my last $250 to make this possible!
For the folks that criticizes the technology, just wait until you're 80 and you lose your hearing, you'll be grateful by then when this technology becomes available. I'm deaf and it would be hella lot better for me to get in touch with 911 through text instead of shouting "WHAT?! WHAT?! THERE IS A GUY BREAKING INTO MY CAR!! WHAT?! WHAT?! HE'S WALKING TOWARD ME WITH A GUN IN HIS HANDS!!! WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
Look at the population of deaf people in Rochester, New York and also, look at the population in Washington D.C. You'd be surprised. All i'm saying is, the sidekick was far more popular than the ogo was and the ogo really never gained any attention because it lacked a lot of features when it came out. I remember when ogo first came out because I lived and knew a lot of deaf people (because I'm deaf myself) who rejected the Ogo from the get go.
the ogo never really gained any attention in the deaf community. In rochester, new york, there would be at least 50 deaf folks that has the sidekick and maybe, just maybe, one of them had the ogo and quickly returned it because Cingular had crappy plans that would rip off the deaf people.
When the hell were they popular in the deaf community? Don't you mean the RIM before they became blackberry or the Motorola flip texter thingy, or what about the sidekick? Do your research next time. The sidekick was and still is popular in the deaf community. We knew the Ogo was a joke.
I could use this considering I pay 7 bucks a week on a pack of hearing aid batteries and can't afford more juice for my iPhone. :-(. This would solve my world economic crisis
it doesn't matter, i wouldn't buy it because I'm deaf and Apple used to have over 100+ movies with the caption features available, now, as of today, there's only ONE move in their entire collection that has closed captions. So, I'm forced to rip dvd's from the rental place, include subtitles and compress it. Thanks Apple for failing to follow the American Disability Act law.
You know, I'd love to understand the video if I wasn't deaf. Perhaps this would be a cool new project! Put captions on all of your video and sponsor captions!!! Trust me, you'll need captions when you hit a mere age of 60 (Earlier if you continue to blast your ipod headphone in your eardrums) and you'll thank yourself when you want to go back on these videos.
DAMNIT! CAPTION YOUR STUFF!!! RESPECT THE CRIPPLED!
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
